While I wholeheartedly support all your gripes with the streaming services, how come everyone loves fucking Plex with *arr so much? Plex has been nothing but janky for me and constantly tried to push it’s own bullshit through dark patterns (some plex-tv-stuff added to a menu here, some recommendations to their own BS there), while looking and feeling super outdated. This is without the need to switch applications just to get to overseer.

Isn’t Stremio more comfortable for most ppl?

You try to pull this shit in Germany, I dare you

No, it means that there was a Par2-File (which I didn’t recognize since I haven’t used Usenet for long) and a regular file but Readarr kept picking the Par2 file.

Hey, wwhile I indeed didn’t even know one could do a custom format with a negative score, I solved the issue by adding the corresponding releases those par2 files were for manually.

Thanks :) Yet… why keeps Readarr fetching those and not the base file I wonder?

Those do come from a private Indexer (and given the explanation by @Laser@feddit.de, they are supposed to be there

I might just do that when I find the time. It’s way too unknown imho. Yes, it’s not the right choice if you want to keep everything you watched, but for everything you want to watch once and be done with, it’s a better solution in my opinion.

Thank you for putting in the effort!

Yet… I don’t get why using the *Arr stack and Plex is so popular. Plex is annoying as fuck and tries to shill you their paid bullshit at every corner. The Arr stack is buggy and having a separate system for recommendations and requests and for library management is super cumbersome for me. Compare that with Stremio… I could never convince the wife to use Plex with overseer at all. Stremio is super convenient.

Im just saying this because I spent my weekend getting another Arr stack running after years of absence and noticed that the whole thing is as convoluted and fiddly as ever and that really got me wondering why people just take this as the industry standard for torrenting.

Wait… are they saying that I could have sent my employees to the Union instead of endless discussions about next year’s pto distribution? Could you not have said that sooner?!

And even then, you pay with your Data.

That, indeed, is true. It’s rather cheap, yet not free.

Real debrid and similar services act A) as a multi premium account (so you can download from sites like Mega or Rapidgator etc like you had a premium account for those services) and as a torrent downloader just like webto and such. You paste a link to them and they download it from a torrent and make it available to you for download/stream via regular https.

Whenever someone downloads a Torrent, the debrid service will cache it, the user who queued it wouldn’t be able to download it otherwise of course.

Yet, from that moment on, the debrid service will serve the cached file whenever someone queues that same Torrent instead of downloading the same file over and over again, so it becomes available to you instantly. That’s how torrentio and sich can use debrid services to instantly start a Video stream via Plex or Kodi or Jellyfin or Stremio.

The Downloads you accessed through them become available via your account, so you can even mount the service via rclone and access the downloads like they were on your local filesystem.

So it’s basically webto just with the added bonus of Instant completion to many torrents.

What about Real Debrid and the like?

I used KeePass for ages, but I could never get my wife to use it, too. Updating and using and synching it wasn’t a big hassle, but it was enough of one to let my wife reject it, especially with plugins that needed updating. Another issue we had was that sharing passwords wasn’t really convenient. I set up a Vaultwarden instance on our server and now she’s happily using the password manager (finally!) and we can have an “oganization” to share passwords with. Really cool stuff. Besides, we ain’t needing and plugins anymore.

The ability to interface with DuckDuckGo’s Mail-Forwarding-API has further increased the control of my data in a very convenient way!

The only thing I miss from KeePass is the ability to auto-type inside of other applications besides the browser, but hey, that’s not too much of an issue.

I have to chime in here, just because of how this post is written: Keepass 2 is not “a great application for files used by KeePassDX”. It’s the original. So if anything, KeePassDX is riding on KeePass 2, not the other way round. Sorry for my nitpicking, this is a “honor where honor is due” thing to me ;)

He’s one of those people who have a hard time recognizing the line between “being honest” and “being rude”. That’s not a disqualification though, we all have our quirks.
